This is sick!!!

GTsetGO · 10-14-2015, 09:47 AM

thanks all.

Sintra came in yesterday. So i got it all marked up and ready to cut.

Also going another route on the visor. Bought a faceshield replacement and will use window tint to darken it.

GTsetGO · 10-15-2015, 09:56 AM

Armor all cut out

GTsetGO · 10-16-2015, 12:46 PM

broke out the heat gun last night and started forming the armor and then took advantage of the little guy being sick (daddy stayed home with him) to get some painting started.

also put the clear coat on the helmet. now i just need to get the visor cut out and installed.

GTsetGO · 10-19-2015, 10:44 AM

so yesterday was enough to piss me off. taped up the armor with the design I wanted and proceeded to spray it with the white and orange paints.

TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN.. WTH.

so. I had to strip it all the way down and start over. ughh.

GTsetGO · 10-20-2015, 09:34 PM

got a lot done this evening. After repainting the armor, I wiped the "vaseline areas" off on the armor and put the velcro on the backs of it to get it ready to attach to the shirt and pants.

and got the visor and LED cable installed in the bucket. it's 95% done.

AdamJoshua · 10-20-2015, 10:04 PM

Wait it lights up?!?! Like it couldn't get any cooler. Great job, brother! When I was little I spay painted boxes silver and used tin foil and made a robot costume =\ HAHA

Edit: and no it didn't light up

GTsetGO · 10-23-2015, 10:11 AM

Thanks adam. I am excited to see it done and him in it.

and then it is on to trooping together.

This is totally awesome -- you have some skills and your son is very lucky!

shilala · 10-23-2015, 01:14 PM

That'll happen if it's too cold where you paint.
Usually the can says what the limits are, but I think the low end is 50*.
It does suck. Very hard.

that's what i was thinking, but I got the different metallic paint and sprayed it on in temperatures lower than those shots and it worked fine.

The more and more I talk to people, the more I see people having problems with the hammered metallic paint. almost like it wasn't meant to over sprayed

AdamJoshua · 10-31-2015, 06:26 PM

Awesome! I hope you get first pick of the candy for that one!

jonumberone · 11-01-2015, 08:13 AM

Very cool, Rob!

GTsetGO · 11-01-2015, 03:56 PM

as my wife put it. the costumes were a hit. she came around the corner, saw the crowd and thought someone was giving out full sized candy bars. NOPE, it was a photo op with me. lol

me and the little guy last night for halloween.

CigarNut · 11-01-2015, 05:57 PM

Very cool!

RWhisenand · 11-01-2015, 09:40 PM

Very, very cool. It may be a coincidence but my son is named Luke, my name is Rob, he dressed as a clone yesterday, complete with realistic blaster. I went as Darth Vader, the very realistic Vader helmet allowed me to check out the sexy witches without being noticed. Great project for you and Luke!
